Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 679 Jeju Island

The tactic of procrastination is actually a characteristic of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Some things will gradually become bad things if they are procrastinated, and some things will gradually become good things if they are procrastinated.

Of course, there are many bad ones and few good ones.

To fight against the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, especially the interest groups behind them, we must pay attention to methods and methods, and we cannot blindly pursue simple and rude.

The road to combating privileged groups is long and arduous.

Put the stalls that Sun Chuanting tried in Henan into the mu, temporarily choose to drag the words, use politics to protect Sun Chuanting himself, ensure that what Sun Chuanting does can continue to be implemented in Henan, expand public opinion during this process, and maintain the originality of the trial policy Influence.

Where there are opponents, there will be supporters.

Even if there are few supporters, Emperor Chongzhen also has his own way to ensure that it can be effectively implemented instead of abolishing halfway through compromise!

The land reform involved must be carried forward steadily, otherwise it would be impossible to plug the financial loopholes of Ming Dynasty.

If fiscal loopholes cannot be plugged, tax evasion cannot be stopped, not to mention the phenomenon of tax evasion. Without a virtuous cycle of the Ming financial system, don't even think about the success of the reform.

"When it comes to the important affairs of military aircraft, please forgive me for not being able to say more."

Reform will inevitably intensify contradictions.

Jianlu attacked Liaonan again? !
Li Zhen's face changed slightly.

However, starting from the third year of Chongzhen, the overall situation in the Liao region reversed, which also brought about a new turning point in North Korea. Emperor Chongzhen took full advantage of the status of the suzerain.

But even if this is the case, there are still many people who are interested in the Great Ming in North Korea. After all, North Korea is known as a small China. Whether it is cultural etiquette or language, they are all inherited from the Chinese. The indiscriminate influence made the ruling groups such as Li Ji feel timid and afraid to fight against Jianlu. This made Ming Dynasty lose an important strategic location at the military level.

Benefits can be exchanged.

Hearing this, Li Zhen immediately expressed his attitude: "Okay, Xiao Wang has signed this lease agreement!"

Daming, with its turmoil and influence, and North Korea, which is thousands of miles away, also has a corresponding situation.

"King of Joseon, I hope you can make it clear that the lease of Jeju Island proposed by Daming is not to forcefully occupy the territory of your Joseon country like the rampant Jianlu."

"Shangcha, what does Your Majesty want to lease Jeju Island for?" Li Zhen relaxed a little, looked at Jin Xuan and said, "After all, the place is far away from Liao, even if Shangguo leased it, right..."

Jin Xuan said calmly: "But there is one thing, I can remind the King of Joseon to prevent the recurrence of the Joseon War, that is, what your country said was the Imjin Japanese Invasion, and North Korea is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. There are some things that you can not think about, but Daming couldn't help but think about it.

Just like what Jin Xuan said, the current interior of North Korea seems to be calm, but in fact it is a dark tide. They are all privileged factions in North Korea.

"King of Joseon, out of personal friendship, I need to remind you again."

My Ming Dynasty experienced some defeats in the past, but today Zizi is wise and powerful, and Yu Liaodong proposed a pan-Liaodong strategy to gradually resolve the Jianlu rebellion.

It has laid a relatively solid foundation for plans such as continuing to move domains, gradually attacking Wa Island, building a complete maritime defense line with important maritime locations such as the Ryukyu Islands and Dongfan, and expanding the scale of maritime trade.

However, on behalf of Daming, Kim Hyun has clearly made a breakthrough in the lease of Jeju Island with North Korea. However, there will be a lot of tedious matters to be resolved in the future. After all, this involves sovereignty issues. Even if North Korea is a vassal state of Daming, if If it cannot be handled properly, it will affect the handover process of Jeju Island.

Regarding the leasing regulations of Jeju Island, Da Ming gave a lot of preferential treatment. Even after signing the regulations, the prefectures and counties along the coast of Da Ming can provide money to the Korean royal family through employment, and hire bankrupt young men and various craftsmen in North Korea. Households, to ensure that the rebellion in North Korea can be reduced correspondingly. "

With the steady advancement of Liao's strategy, Ming did not want any accidents and turmoil on North Korea's side, which in turn would affect Ming's established strategy.

Li Cong felt emotional in his heart.

Li Zhen launched an anti-reverse campaign in North Korea during the Tianqi period, and the legitimacy of being able to control North Korea is to be pro-Ming and exclude money, firmly stand on the side of Daming, and change his previous neutral attitude. Emperor Tianqi issued an imperial edict.

What happened in the Liao region in the past is clear to the Korean group represented by Li Ji. The frequent defeats of the Jianlu in the Liao region made many people in North Korea feel excited and inspired.

Jin Xuan lifted up the sleeves of his robe, looked at the hesitant Li Zhen, and said, "Just a few days ago, my official received an urgent report from the Liao Dynasty from Dongjiang Town, saying that the Eight Banners of Jianjian had gathered heavy troops. Resisting the Jianlu rebellion, the Liaodong Rebel Army spontaneously assembled and launched a large-scale counterattack in an attempt to extinguish the just act of Liao.

Interests can affect the political situation.

As a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, His Majesty knows what North Korea has experienced in the past. Li Shi's rebellion and Ding Mao's rebellion have hurt North Korea's vitality.

According to the progress of the original timeline, the Dingmao Rebellion that occurred in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, although North Korea was forced to bow to the brave Jianlu, North Korea did not abandon its status as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Facing the fierce offensive of Jianlu, North Korea was conquered militarily by the Eight Banners of Jianlu. Since then, the vassal relationship with Ming Dynasty was severed, and then Jianlu was recognized as the suzerain state.

Dongjiang Pinglu pointed forward, and the Minister of Counselor Jin Xuan, facing the gaze of the Joseon King Li Zhen, said in a loud voice: "Instead of using excellent firecrackers, cannons, cotton cloth, colored glaze, etc., they will be converted into annual rental silver, and I will give it to you alone." The handover of the Korean royal family is also a preferential treatment given to you by His Majesty.

It is precisely because of this that His Majesty granted your plea when you North Korea proposed to me Daming for trade and let the North Korean royal family specialize in this matter.

Seoul.

For Emperor Chongzhen, leasing Jeju Island under the jurisdiction of North Korea through benefits was undoubtedly the beginning of obtaining this strategic maritime location at the lowest cost, and then realizing the planned deployment.

No matter in any period, no matter in any region, once the corresponding signs are revealed, it will inevitably cause turmoil and influence.

Not to mention the factional disputes in North Korea. In fact, your position as the king of Joseon has not been very stable, right? "

Since the Ming Dynasty entered into trade with North Korea, the power held by the Korean royal family has gradually increased. If the King of Joseon continues to hesitate on this matter, then I will not be able to give orders to His Majesty, whether to continue with North Korea. Commerce, whether to protect North Korea as the suzerain state, these are things that I dare not think about, and everything needs to be decided by your Majesty. "

Reform does not happen overnight.

After all, since the late Wanli Dynasty, Daming has frequently lost in battles with Jianlu. This also caused some voices in North Korea to think that Daming is no longer as strong as it used to be, especially in Liaozuo, Liaonan, and Liaoxi. Fallen, this kind of public opinion became more and more intense.

This important strategic location in North Korea cannot be fully controlled by Ming Dynasty at this stage.

In particular, the original industrialization of the Ming Dynasty has not been advanced. In a sense, controlling North Korea is amplifying the blood of Ming Dynasty.

In order to truly control this important place in North Korea, the Ming Dynasty must wait until the arrival of the steam age, so that Ming can gradually bring North Korea under its actual rule.

After all, at that time, if we wanted to control the cost of North Korea, we had to reduce it correspondingly. Whether it was administrative costs or military costs, they could all be affected by the arrival of the steam age, and a lot of them would be greatly reduced. It is the key to ensure that Daming can rejuvenate.
